Surrey County Council (FER)

Recommendations became law

The Surrey (Electoral Changes) Order 2012, to implement recommendations by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) for new division boundaries in Surrey, was made on 10 July 2012 and was published on 20 July 2012.

New electoral division arrangements for Surrey have now successfully completed a 40 day period of Parliamentary scrutiny and will come into force at the next scheduled county elections on 2 May 2013.

Draft order laid in Parliament

On 14 May 2012 the Surrey (Electoral Changes) Order 2012 was laid in draft in Parliament.

The draft order if made would give effect to final recommendations that were consulted on during the Local Government Boundary Commission for England's review of electoral arrangements in Surrey and published 17 January 2012.

The draft order will be laid in Parliament for a period of 40 sitting days. Parliament can either accept or reject our recommendations. If accepted, the new electoral arrangements will come into force at the next scheduled elections for Surrey in 2013.

The draft order refers to a map. The map comprises the following sheets:

Please note: some of the maps are very large and may take some time to download.

We have now completed our electoral review of Surrey County Council. The changes we have made must be approved by Parliament. A draft Order - the legal document which brings into force our recommendations - will be laid in Parliament. The draft Order will provide for new electoral arrangements for the council to be implemented at the local elections in 2013.
